Large industrial plants–such as those in the oil, gas, electricity, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries–rely on electronic instrumentation to provide accurate, stable measurements to ...
I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...
In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...
Jon Herlocker, co-founder and CEO of Tignis, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how AI in advanced process control reduces equipment variability and corrects for process drift. What ...
Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...
Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...
US-based company Vulcan Materials is a major producer of aggregates-based construction materials, including asphalt and ready-mixed concrete. A couple of years ago, the company installed an Insitec ...
Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...
